Cosmos Xanthos

Compact, long-lasting uniquely coloured blooms, great for small gardens or large pots. Exceptional soft yellow blooms. A half-hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown.

How to Sow and Grow

  • Sow indoors, for surest results, 0.5cm (¼in) deep, in trays of compost.
  • Water well and place in a warm position, a temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal.
  • Keep moist.
  • Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days.
  • Transplant seedlings 5cm (2in) apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.)
  • Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions.
  • Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm (1ft) apart, when frosts are over.
  • Or sow outdoors for ease, where they are to flower, 1.5cm (½in) deep into finely prepared soil which has already been watered.
  • Thin seedlings to 30cm (1ft) apart.
  • Water well until plants are established.
